Netflix has released the trailer forCriminalSeason 2. Among the biggest teases for the new season are the four big stars boarding as the suspects facing interrogation in four new investigations. One of those stars isKit Harington, who returns to the world of television just one year after closing out his epic eight-season run on HBO’sGame of Thrones.
TheCriminalSeason 2 trailer kicks off with a cocky, confident Harington looking to establish a false sense of candor between himself, a suspect, and the detectives investigating him for a crime. What that crime is, well, we’ll have to wait and find out when the new season premieres on September 16. But Season 2 looks to be sticking to the approach of Season 1, wherein episodes play out in real-time (for the most part) as we follow an investigative team trying to suss out whether the person they’ve brought in for questioning is, in fact, the titular criminal. Harington is one of four new subjects who will get their own episode in Season 2. He’s joined bySharon Horgan(Catastrophe),Sophie Okonedo(AeonFlux), andKunal Nayyar(The Big Bang Theory).
In addition to Harington, Horgan, Okonedo, and Nayyar,CriminalSeason 2 stars returning castKatherine Kelly,Lee Ingleby,Rochenda Sandall, andShubham Saraf, who all play members of the team of detectives investigating these new suspects.Criminal: UKcomes from series creatorsJim Field SmithandGeorge Kay.Criminal: UKSeason 2 will consist of four new episodes.
